Re: looks like a Poisson process

John;

It looks odd to me because the average interval for all 6+ quakes in this area is about 5.5 days yet the numbers here are for quakes 1000 km apart. I would expect a rather flat bell curve peaking at 5 or 6 days. Zero days should not be the largest, especially for quakes distant from one another.
